The EXPO 2027 Official Store at Abeno Harukas is set to open as a permanent shop on Friday, May 22, 2026. The store had previously operated as a limited-time popup within the same building and was well received by visitors in the Kansai region. With 300 days remaining until GREEN×EXPO 2027 opens in March 2027, the store is transitioning into a permanent presence to become an everyday hub for sharing the appeal of the expo with both local and international visitors.
